    Cab load sensor valve rebuildable ?

    . Without me stirring the pot - Nicely said coachgeo ! This is a lot like samsung and their picture storing and backup software that is disappearing. My solution for that stupidity was to build and install my own NAS that I can connect to for that purpose.

    New guy from Arizona

    . I have no real world experience with 500 gallon water or fuel tanks. Full or Empty is the way to go I am sure - to control sloshing. (We all know that isn't always possible though) Might be worth a search. The rough details are below. Baffle Balls Ball displaces 5oz and weighs only 0.25...

    Adjustable pintle hitch receiver?

    . Just remember that when you have it turned over for your pickup, there is a LOT of leverage against your hitch point. I wouldn't drag that trailer more than empty with your truck. I had one on my M-1088 and it was twice as beefy as the picture above. When I pulled the pins, they were bent...

    New guy from Arizona

    . Congratulations on your New-To-You truck Adam! Welcome to the outfit too. I think that bed is going to be okay. Yeah, it may need some cleanup possibly but I definitely like the wheel cutouts. It makes you different and that isn't a bad thing. If it bugs you a lot, there is always somebody...

    So I bought a Het...

    . So, I'm jealous. I keep looking for a HET, but I either have a wallet problem - or I am not looking hard enough. The only Detroits I have ever worked on were 8v92TT's and they weren't running anything but diesel. MY OPINION is that if that baby cranks up and runs, I would drive it with the...

    Transmission Problems

    . I wonder how many hundred times that has happened? Similar situation that was on a friend's car and the transmission dipstick on the GM TH-350 had a little goofy cover. It was tack welded at the factory and the weld had broken. Cap (dipstick cover) slid up the the "ring" where you pull it...

    (Was) on the road, no lights HET

    . If that truck is occupying too much space in your yard, I would be happy to park it here for you. No Charge! Glad to hear that you got the wiring fixed up. Always makes you wonder HOW that happened...

    Buying price

    . Ninewhineone It sounds to me like you have your head on straight - and with blood and sweat equity - you should do good. It will be helpful for sure to have a Marine mechanic that is related to you too. Go ahead now and download the TM's and do a little reading. Yes, there are different...

    Buying price

    . I have to agree with Milcommoguy . You can buy one that you can get cheap, then spend 3x that amount of money fixing and repairing. OR, you could spend your hard earned money and buy a running and ready to drive from somebody else. There are people who work on the HMMWV for a living. They...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    . Sure looks like that would work - or you could turn the tank by 90 - and maybe go above the driveshaft. Assuming there is enough height... I have seen short fat (maybe 12 or 14 in tall tanks that are about eighteen or twenty inches long - maybe a little less than that. If you can wonder...

    Wiper motor wiring / contact assembly

    . That's a bummer. We used to remove the factory 24v wiper motors in the rebuild process. (Yeah, 55 gallon drums of them - but that was 30+ years ago) ANYWAY, we had troubles with vehicles that still had hinged windows. I had just ASSuMEd that the replacement parts were just crummy. Turns...

    Rhino 5/4 RV

    . That's neat Rhino 5/4 . We have a 60x120 table here that has a router and a bunch of other tools for cutting and scoring and even sawing metal, wood, aluminum, plastic, nylon... Heck, you already know. Those things are really neat. If you can imagine it, the computer and a little brain...

    Rhino 5/4 RV

    . Well now chucky, if you had't have made us sit there in the middle of the highway - with everybody blowing their horns - while you waddled to the back of the bus... AND then you would go to sleep on the way to school. Or go to sleep on the way home , and then your nanny would come roaring...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    . A quick look at one of my M-936 tanks shows it to be about 28 inches long and about 8 inches tall off the mounting bracket. I seem to remember somebody saying that was a 4 1/2 gallon tank maybe. As soon as you start using, the compressor will start pumping, so your air will "grow" as you use...

    Halloween MV dress up

    . Why not... ? Having a parade for Halloween could be a lot of fun. Might be a parade of one, but that could still work - and if you did it early in the evening - the neighbor kids could show off their costumes.

    CUCVRUS Repair Projects

    . That little guy is so cute. Like you said, his expression tells the story for sure! Yessir, grands are a thrill a minute and they are wonderful helpers. My granddaughters really enjoy helping dad (my elder son) change oil and projects like that...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    . You might be able tuck the tank up under the expanded metal that you walk on when you connect a trailer to your tractor. I call it a catwalk. I am sure there is some official name for it. ;-) If you put it on the passenger side of the truck, you won't stumble over the bolt heads. Suggest...

    Found some cool pictures - M944A1 SEORTM

    . Floridianson , I don't know that I have enough bread - but I would definitely like to know his asking price. The best thing about it would be that PTO powered generator. If you can drive to the problem, at least you would know that you would have power when you get where you are going...
